The University of Nottingham campus really is the best I've seen. I spent my first year there before transferring to Leeds to complete my degree (for other reasons).

The differenct between Leeds and Nottingham really made me realise how nice Nottingham is.

The Nottingham campus is green...that's the only way to describe it! There are loads of trees, paths and a lake aswell. All 14 halls of residence are on campus and so are the 14 bars. One of the first things everbody does in their first year is the Campus 14 which means going to all 14 bars in one evening.

Nearby is Beeston (only 5 minutes walk) where there are a further 14 bars. Everybody seems to do the Beeston 14 in Freshers week (probably to try to kill off the weaker freshers!!)

The atmosphere on campus is great. Everbody knows how to work hard and play hard! It's easy to work and not feel pressured to go out but at the same time if you do want to have a night out there'e plenty to do and plenty of people to do it with!

Nottingam City Centre is only 10 minutes drive (or taxi ride) away. There are plenty of shops to keep you occupied on a Saturday afternoon and also plenty of clubs and bars for the night time. Nottingham is a great night out any day of the week!

I'm now at Leeds which is in the middle of Leeds City Centre and there is no tree in sight! It is all concrete and steps. Never mind! It's still a good night out aswell :)
